The Shonai Region
Dewa Sanzan

Our rice fields are located in the Shonai region in Yamagata prefecture. This area, surrounded by mountains and sea and overflowing with nature, is blessed with mineral-rich water all year-round from the three sacred mountains, Mt. Gassan, Mt Haguro and Mt Yudono, also known as Dewa Sanzan. Shonai has long, sunny days through the summer and heavy snowfall in winter. From spring to summer, as the snow slowly thaws, water seeps into the volcanic rocks beneath to become spring water rich in minerals. The journey to our delicious Shonai rice starts here...

The Organic Rice Farm
Dewayahei ...since 1840

At Dewayahei, we specialise in cultivating organic rice that is, not only nutritious, but also sustainable. We use our own homemade fertiliser, a mixture of rice bran, oyster shells, bonito powder and seaweed. We plant young rice plants grown from the previous year's rice seeds. We nurture them by hand weeding and carefully monitoring their condition. We handle everything from rice planting to harvesting, inspection, bagging... basically from production to sales. We are proud of the organic rice we produce and the positive impact it has on the environment, the community, and your health.
